Topic: Edirol R09HR

[Anthony1]

Can everyone post where they are getting their units and the actual total (shipped) costs?  Id like to know the running average and such

www.thomann.de

€333 incl. DHL shipping from Germany to Ireland.
This price includes a 3 year warranty as standard (I'm not sure if 3 years is the standard elsewhere).

shit, wish I'd known that 12 hours ago

It works out at £253 from thomann.de but you're after getting a 2GB SD card with it so I think you did ok with planetgizmo.co.uk  .

It now looks like thomann.de is out of stock until 28 April.  Fortunately mine arrived yesterday.

Cool, £10 not a big deal, but see what warranty comes with mine .........

I love my R-09, but this has me considering an upgrade.

That's the only thing that really caught my eye so far as well.  Maybe I'll go back and listen to the clock tic files now and see if it catches my ear too.. of course that image is with the internal mics & gain maxed out. Not how I'd typically run the thing (line-in at what ever is equivalent to 13-18 on the R-09).

Indeed, that is the true test. Based on what I have seen so far, I can't imagine it is worse, I am sure they 'improved' everything in the signal path. 

Actually the difference is better than the spectral image I showed, there was a spike in the R09 (original) recording that prevented the same degree of amplification as the R09HR received.

What it does mean is that the internal mics are actually (more) useful in a pinch.

I've only taped 2 shows with my HR, and one of them I've not even had a chance to listen to on anything other than the headphone output (which is predictably a bit shite).

The first show - an acoustic set by my mates with a slightly dodgy PA in a little pub, mind, completely blows me away, even when dithered down from 24/96 to 16/44.1 on the old iPod. I'll get a 24/96 flac sample up at some point. You'll all have to bear in mind, though, that I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing, even getting on for my 1 year anniversary for taping.
 


The little I've seen of the HR's capabilities, though, and the improvement is pretty damn clear, even to me.

Does anyone know yet if the volume can be used 100% or if we have to stick to 8 (or some new number) like on the old R09?

I have a feeling that the release of the R09HR is about to happen.
A couple weeks ago I was told the release would be about the 10th April.
I have just discovered that there is a Product Release session to be held by Roland in Montreal on April 10th from 6 to 8 pm.  Tomorrow!!!
Is this when the great announcement will be made?
Check "roland.ca"  and select "Events" for news.

Full Compass has their first shipment coming on 4/30, 2nd shipment a few weeks after that...

This unit looks to be a very promising unit.  I can't wait to read up on a few reviews once they start rolling in.
